Hi,

Recent malfunctions of certain multimedia contents (this includes multimedia videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash update and/or a malfunctioning browser plugin such as Real Player.

In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:

Other, more technical information about these issues can be found under these Links:


Hope this helps!

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:

  • disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
  • disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
  • disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

I have this same problem, and have had for months. I am running the latest version of flash player and the latest version of Firefox.

I created a video so you can see exactly what the problem is, notice when the mouse moves, there is constant dropped frames: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSozeOVgstg

This occurs with hardware acceleration (in firefox settings) enabled or disabled. The only other browser I've tried is Chrome, and this lag does not occur in Chrome.
